| The Sword of the Prophet by Serge Trifkovic |
| Comments: �The arbiters of official Islam will not tell us what Islam is, only what they want it to be. For the truth, we must turn Dr. Serge Trifkovic, a European historian of broad learning, sound philosophy and keen political insight.� Brian Mitchell (Washington Bureau chief Investor�s Business Daily.) �This book pulls no punches in identifying the rise of Islamic fundamentalism as the greatest danger to Western values since the end of the Cold War.� Ambassador James Bissett (Head of Canadian Immigration & Foreign Service, Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania) �There is a culpable blindness of such an intensity that it can survive exposure even to the survey of aggressive Islamism given in this book. However as [Dr. Trifkovic] demonstrates, where Islam and other religions have come together the track record of peaceful co-existence is outweighed by the record of human catastrophe.� Michael M.
